Scrubbed!

We’ve been scrubbed for at least 48 hours because of a heater problem. Will do a proper post later but essentially they have to drain the tank and check it out.

Space is like this, however many times it’s taken off, Space and the Shuttle are not routine.

It twangs your heart when you see the astrovan drive up to launch operations and then turn around and go back (they’ll be a vid of that later)

UPDATE:

So this tweet just came down

That means i have to sort flights again hmmmm

Update 2: I’ve sorted flights and I’m staying till Wednesday. It means I’ve got to write essays while I’m over here but I think it’s worth it.

Will do a proper digestion of what’s happening later tonight once NASA have confirmed things for Monday’s launch at the press conference.
